We currently have no efficient alternative to coal. The Govt should not increase regulations to shut down coal plants because it will cripple the economy. They should leave that industry alone, not subsidize it either.

I would support the Govt granting money to research green projects to find better alternatives. But we shouldn't try to shut down coal until we actually have an alternative and the infrastructure to use it.

And herein lies the paradox. Im not in favor of shutting coal down. I am in favor of forcing the energy sector to develop alternatives and waning out dependency of it. I think grants and all that BS just line people pockets. The industry wont budge on finding an alternative unless someone makes them.

Thats a tough line to walk.
